MEC431 Advanced Manufacturing

G-Code Programming – Practice Assignment #1

Tools: T1 HSS 1/2” φ End Mill (non-plunging) 4 teeth

T2 HSS 7/8” φ T-Slotting Mill 8 teeth
T3 HSS ¼” φ Twist Drill

Speeds & Feeds: The work material is 1020 steels, and you’ll be using HSS tools.
For T1 S=110ft/min and F=0.001”/tooth. For T2 S= 110ft/min and
F=0.002”/tooth. For the ¼” drilling, use S=90 and F= 0.004”/rev.

Assignment Requirements:
1) Fill out the process planning sheet provided for the milling machine, use the tools
in order. ie, T1, T2 and then T3. Length compensation positive (G43) for those
tools has been stored in H1, H2 and H3 respectively.
2) Show all calculations for the spindle speed (rpm) and feed rate (in/min) for each
tool on a separate sheet.
3) Write a G-code program to machine the T-slot and two holes for the above part.
Assume the current tool position is at (0., 0., 2). (I would suggest absolute mode.)
The part origin has been stored in G54.
